The choice for the World Cup 2022 host was quite a process! The decision was made by FIFA's then 24-member Executive Committee, who vote in a secret ballot. Countries submitted bids with detailed plans for stadiums, infrastructure, and how they would handle the event's logistics. Qatar won the bid for 2022, controversially beating out the USA, Australia, South Korea, and Japan. Despite the controversy, it's set to be a historic event as the first World Cup held in the Middle East.
